The National Rural Network (NRN) has today published an interesting new booklet showcasing 12 projects and initiatives throughout rural Ireland which have been supported under the LEADER Food Initiative.
The €15 million LEADER Food Initiative is co-funded by the Government of Ireland and the EU under the Rural Development Programme 2014-2020 (extended to 2022) and is administered by the Department of Rural and Community Development. The initiative provides financial supports towards the renovation and extension of production facilities, the purchasing of processing equipment, as well as supporting participants in the artisan food and beverage sector in areas such as market development, competitiveness, and innovation.
